The New York Jets have forced just two turnovers since Week 8.

The Jets are tied for 29th among NFL defenses in takeaways, and their pass rush hasn't been much better as only the Cleveland Browns have fewer sacks than DC Kacy Rodgers' unit. New York's six-week turnover slump has resulted in a 1-5 record in November and December as the Jets have continued to struggle. The Jets D/ST will be far from the fantasy radar in Week 16 on the road against the New England Patriots. Thu, Dec 22, 2016 03:25:00 PM

The New York Jets have not forced a turnover since Week 8 and have the second-fewest takeaways in the NFL.

The only team with fewer takeaways and a worse turnover differential than the Jets is the Jacksonville Jaguars. "That's the biggest difference between this year and last year, defensively. Not many takeaways," said coach Todd Bowles. The Jets D/ST has been a disappointment this season, turning in just two top-10 fantasy finishes in 11 games. New York will have an opportunity to get back on track in Week 13 against Colts QB Andrew Luck, who has thrown at least one interception in his last three starts. The Jets D/ST will be a borderline top-12 fantasy option on Monday night. Thu, Dec 1, 2016 12:26:00 PM

The New York Jets will be tasked with slowing Miami RB Jay Ajayi on Sunday, as the rookie looks for a third consecutive 200-yard rushing performance.

Ajayi erupted for 418 rushing yards on 53 carries in two weeks before Miami's bye, and the Jets hope to put an end to the rookie's streak this week. "We execute our game plan, we play fast, we play hard and we play smart, we most definitely will get the job done," said DT Steve McLendon said. Ajayi will certainly be tested, as the Jets have allowed just one 100-yard rushing performance this season and are allowing an NFL-best 74.0 rushing yards per game. The Jets D/ST is a low-end streaming option on the road at Miami this week. Sat, Nov 5, 2016 12:01:00 PM

The New York Jets are looking to rebound in run defense after allowing a season-high 171 rushing yards and their first 100-yard rusher in Week 6.

The secondary had been the main issue for the Jets' struggling defense, as opposing offenses had run for just 68.4 yards per game heading into Week 6. Arizona had different plans, as RB David Johnson had his way with the Jets' defensive front that was without LB David Harris (hamstring). Harris will likely return in Week 7, but the Jets D/ST will not be on the fantasy radar against Baltimore. Thu, Oct 20, 2016 06:34:00 PM

It doesn't mean he's out of the woods, but it does sound like a day-to-day injury. Forte never returned to Sunday's win over the Dolphins after rushing eight times for 25 yards. We'll have another update on him by Wednesday.

Robby Anderson caught 3-of-6 targets for 95 yards and one touchdown against the Dolphins in Week 3.

He caught a very nice 69-yard touchdown on a deep ball from Josh McCown. Last week, Anderson was only targeted four times for his two catches and 28 yards against the Raiders, so this game was unexpected. The Temple product had been underwhelming since the beginning of the preseason and isn't really worth adding in most leagues.

Jets OT Ben Ijalana (knee) said he'll be "a little limited" early on in camp.

Ijalana is now seven weeks removed from a knee scope. In a surprise development, Ijalana said the plan is for him to compete with Kelvin Beachum at left tackle this summer. That leaves Brent Qvale and Brandon Shell to battle it out for the starting job at right tackle. It would be a stunner if Beachum, who is due $12 million in guaranteed money, lost out to Ijalana on the blind side.
